- Installation of GOMail can be done in as little as 5 Minutes if you
- are familiar with how a tosser works. If you have never installed
- a mailer before then be sure to follow the directions and read
- every bit of the documentation. I spent many hours preparing all
- the documentation for those that are experienced and those that are
- not.
-
- Experienced people need only to follow these steps to get GOMail up
- and running..
-
- YOU MUST CALL EITHER OF THE SUPPORT BBS'S TO GET YOUR OWN DEMO
- KEY. THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO DO. THIS WILL INSURE
- THAT YOU GET A FULL 30 DAY KEY. ONCE AT THE MAIN MENU SIMPLY PRESS
- K FOR GET DEMO KEY.

- o Make a directory called \DB\GOATTACH or \FD\GOATTACH
- depending on which mailer your running.
- o Change to the \GOMAIL directory and run GOEDIT

- help then press the F1 key for a help screen.

- o Create a file called AREAS.BBS and follow the outline in the
- GOMAIL.DOC file for it. If you are already using it then
- just copy it into the GOMail directory.
- o Type GOMAIL SCAN to initialize all the databases and
- pointers in GOMAIL. This will also tell you if everything
- is set up correctly.
- o Change or make your BAT files that will execute GOMAIL after
- every BBS call and after mail has been received.
- o That's it sit back and watch GOMail process your mail.

- Unexperienced people need to start with their mailer type. First
- determine what type of mailer you want to use D'bridge or
- Frontdoor. Follow the easy setup instructions included with GOMail
- on how to setup each of these systems. You can also use the
- documentation included with the front end but i tried to weed all
- the stuff you don't need out
